## Abstract

The present invention relates generally to the field of floor mats. More specifically, the present invention relates to a magnetic mat device that prevents a user from wasting excessive amounts of time searching for nuts, bolts, screws, sockets, or other parts that fall onto the floor while working. The device is primarily comprised of a body, further comprised of a top layer, a middle layer, further comprised of at least one magnet, and a bottom layer. Further, the top layer is comprised of a top surface that helps prevent against slips as well as stains from oils and other liquids. Further, the bottom surface is comprised of protrusions that prevent the device from sliding on the floor. The device is also comprised of a side surface comprised of at least one magnet to attach multiple devices together to encompass any size workstation.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A magnetic mat device comprising:
a body comprised of a top layer, a middle layer and a bottom layer;
a magnet;
a pouch;
a wheel;
a tool pan; and
a light source.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The magnetic mat device of claim 1, wherein a top surface of the top layer is comprised of a padding.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The magnetic mat device of claim 1, wherein a bottom surface of the bottom layer is comprised of a protrusion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The magnetic mat device of claim 3, wherein the protrusion is comprised of a non-slip material.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The magnetic mat device of claim 1, wherein the tool pan is comprised of a metal material.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The magnetic mat device of claim 1, wherein the wheel is positioned on a bottom surface of the bottom layer.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The magnetic mat device of claim 6, wherein the wheel is a thread on core wheel, a solid wheel, a flat free wheel, a semi-pneumatic wheel or a pneumatic wheel.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The magnetic mat device of claim 1 further comprised of a battery.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The magnetic mat device of claim 1, wherein the light source is an LED light.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The magnetic mat device of claim 1, wherein the magnet is positioned on a side surface of the body.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The magnetic mat device of claim 10, wherein the magnet is a neodymium iron boron magnet, a samarium cobalt magnet, an alnico magnet, a ferrite magnet or an electromagnet.
